what's the species for these? are they common (i assume so?) and can they hold their own with african cichlids?:help:

These links may help give you info. on them...I personally don't know about them. I would be cautious about putting them in with african cichlids though..they may end up as food! They are pretty!!

Looks to me like a blackstripe topminnow, minus the colored fins...I see three without.
